Roadside Attractions on Thursday debuted the first trailer for Exhibiting Forgiveness, a family drama starring Independent Spirit Award winner André Holland, Oscar nominee Andra Day, Tony Award nominee John Earl Jelks and Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.

In the film, “Tarrell (Holland) is an admired American painter who lives with his wife, singer Aisha (Day), and their young son, Jermaine. Tarrell’s artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his youth, keeping past wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, La’Ron (Jelks), a conscience-stricken man desperate to reconcile. Tarrell’s mother, Joyce (Ellis-Taylor) a pious woman with a profound and joyful spirituality, hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness, giving them all another chance at being a family. Tarrell and La’Ron learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving in this raw and deeply moving film.”

Written and directed by Titus Kaphar, and marking Kaphar’s feature debut, Exhibiting Forgiveness premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It will release in theaters October 18.
